Wei Shufen, with her sharp eyes, spotted the dress immediately.
That style is more elegant and sophisticated, and it's suitable for someone her age.
Normally, she gets her clothes made at a tailor shop, and the styles are always quite conservative. She doesn't care much for the clothes sold at street stalls, feeling that those clothes don't suit her status. So when she sees new clothes, her eyes light up.
"Your clothes are nice." Wei Shufen said with a smile, her eyes still fixed on the fabric. "Bell-bottoms are also in fashion these days. You must have good taste, having studied abroad."
Li Qin was very proud, shaking her chest like a proud rooster.
"Auntie, feel free to wear it if you like. I just bought it and haven't worn it yet. I think the color suits your skin tone very well."
Wei Shufen was overjoyed and said, "Really?" before picking up her clothes and going to her room to change.
After a while, she came out wearing brand new clothes. The bright yellow shirt had puff sleeves, which was a bit too youthful for her age, but Li Qin praised it highly.
Wei Shufen was extremely pleased by Li Qin's flattery and made a promise to her:
"Don't worry, you come from a good family and are outstanding yourself. I will definitely be satisfied with you as my daughter-in-law. I will make sure Xiao Tao comes back in the next couple of days."
Li Qin became shy and blushed, saying, "Auntie, I'll go back as soon as my leg is better."
"Why go back? You can stay here and keep me company. Playing cards every day is boring, it would be nice to listen to you play the piano."
When Wei Shufen thought about Li Qin's qualifications, she felt that she and Han Tao were a perfect match.
She has at least two sons; she can help with one of them.
Then the day will surely come when we have a grandson.
Clearly, Wei Shufen was being a bit presumptuous. When Han Tao received her call, he told her directly that he was on a business trip out of town and wouldn't be back for a while.
Li Qin stayed at the Han family's house for several days, but she didn't see Han Tao, nor did she see Old Lady Han even once.
She had originally intended to pay her respects, but Old Lady Han told her directly:
"Since your legs are inconvenient, don't walk back and forth."
It's like they practically wrote "Don't bother me" on their foreheads.
Left with no other option, Li Qin had to slink back home.
When Lu Wanqing came to the gathering again, Wei Shufen couldn't sit still after hearing the laughter and chatter. She put on the new clothes that Li Qin had given her and went to find the old lady.
When she saw the old lady, she naturally had to praise Li Qin again, saying that her family background was so good, far superior to those who came from nowhere with unclear origins; that she was outstanding, having returned from studying abroad and directly becoming a teacher at Huaqing University, with an elegant and tasteful demeanor, far more prestigious than a self-employed individual.
Lu Wanqing listened from the side, her lips twitching. "Just give me my household registration information."
If you're so capable, why don't you let your son marry Li Qin? Why are you showing off like this here?
"Aunt, your clothes are really nice, they make you look younger," Lu Wanqing said without any hesitation.
Wei Shufen was extremely pleased to hear this, and laughed, shaking her head, "This was given to me by Li Qin. She has always had excellent taste."
Lu Wanqing nodded thoughtfully:
"It's really good. This design of mine is very popular. The manufacturer made at least a thousand sets, and I still have about ten left in my shop! Auntie, you should have said you liked this style sooner. I have plenty of clothes in my shop!"
When Lu Wanqing comes here, she always tries to keep a low profile and chooses older-style clothes. But in Wei Shufen's eyes, this low profile is seen as being poor and tasteless.
In fact, she only needed to do a little research to know that the most popular clothing styles on the market right now are all designed by Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing was merely stating a fact, but Wei Shufen's face quickly flushed red, and she raised her voice, saying:
"I was talking to my mom, it's none of your business to interrupt!"
That kind of domineering attitude can't be performed without decades of experience.
Lu Wanqing smiled and said, "Auntie is really funny. We were just chatting casually, why did you suddenly get so angry? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were mistreating your goddaughter!"
Seeing Wei Shufen so angry, Old Mrs. Han was also annoyed and scolded her:
"I was talking to Wanqing, why are you interrupting again? Who wants to hear about Li Qin? Don't mention her in front of me again, she's annoying!"
Wei Shufen never expected that the old lady would say these things to her so bluntly. Even if she didn't like it, she should have been more tactful!
Looking at the two people in front of her, she felt a surge of anger with nowhere to vent it.
She came in like a defeated rooster, strutting around with her head held high, but walked away with her head drooping.
After Wei Shufen left, the children's cheerful laughter filled the living room once again.
In the kitchen, Zhao Xiaolan and Han Dongsheng worked together to cook, occasionally holding hands and kissing each other on the cheek.
They didn't dare to be blatant, maintaining a cold and distant facade as before, but when no one was around, they longed to be together all the time.
There's a thrill to having an affair!
"Why didn't Lin Ye come again?" Han Dongsheng finally asked a serious question.
Elaine Chao sighed slightly: "The incident in the last competition was a big blow to him. He is still studying the original design and figuring out how to prevent the glass from shattering due to the high-frequency sound waves."
Hearing her words, Han Dongsheng was touched. He had thought that she was not coming because she felt ashamed, but it turned out that she was facing her failure and continuing her research.
"You could ask Dongfeng; he works in aerospace and deals with materials, so he might be able to help," he suggested.
Zhao Xiaolan gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and thanked him happily, "How come I never thought of that before? I'll call him right now."
She put down the vegetables and was about to run away when Han Dongsheng grabbed her and pulled her into a tight embrace.
"One kiss isn't enough; I need more rewards."
With a wicked smile, he pressed his lips to hers.
The kiss came suddenly and fiercely. Zhao Xiaolan felt as if her body was about to be crushed by him. Her legs were too weak to stand, and she could only hang on his neck with her hands.
"Grandma, I want some water." Miaomiao walked in, still half asleep.
The two separated with lightning speed, and Elaine Chao's face turned as red as an apple.
"Come on, Miaomiao, Grandma will get you some water," she said calmly, though her heart was still pounding.
With elderly parents to care for and young children to raise, finding a romantic relationship is truly difficult.
Achoo!
Lin Ye sneezed in a courtyard house near the school.
Someone must have been talking about him.
Lin Xiaocui held up her camera and took a picture of the newly completed model, smiling as she said:
"Your sister-in-law must miss you. You finally have a weekend off, why don't you go to the Han family with your sister-in-law?"
Lin Ye touched his nose, looking uneasy: "I felt uncomfortable there, so I might as well come and make a model."
Seeing how seriously she was taking pictures, I casually asked, "Why are you taking these pictures? You can't publish them in the newspaper."
Lin Xiaocui smiled mysteriously, "You'll find out when the time comes."
